Great stuff. I loved that show. Although it still bothers me that Lou leaves off the final line of the Raymond Chandler paragraph he reads to Mary in the first episode.
It was a good, wasn't it? And episodes were memorable as distinct stories. Most sitcoms today, even ones I like, tend to run together because they are more about an overall idea that individual ones. For instance, which episode of THE OFFICE or MODERN FAMILY is distinct from any other.

Classic episode.
It's been a long time since a sitcom has held me like the ones in those days.
Jeff M.
And that's the truth. When people stayed home on Saturday night to catch Bob, Mary, Hawkeye and ?
Still makes me chuckle. [Appropriate word choice, methinks]
WV = docarnal. Geesh.

Oh, my gosh. I have to go find that on you tube.
A personal favorite. Thanks. (You're gonna make it after all. . .)
Patti - Oh, thank you for this :-). It brings back a lot of good memories. What a great ensemble cast this was...
Watch her all the time on DVD. Great show!
